"Hello, Bob!"

So, I have recently noticed that a lot of the people that I hang around have either really dramatic lives, or they hate pretty much everyone. I guess that would count for a more dramatic life, even if the drama is created by you. I do not have a dramatic life, and I honestly don’t dislike anyone, and I don’t have fights with anyone. It must be because I’m such a nice person. (Now I’m going to get a whole bunch of anonymous messages that say “Well you sure were mean to me, and I can hold a grudge!” I don’t think I do many mean things. If I do I’m sorry). I just thought it was really weird the way teenagers have to have these movie style lives.

I watch this show that is filmed in Canada, Degrassi. It is basically just the lives of a bunch of teenagers. The weird thing about it though, is the way these teenagers are represented. It might be different up north, but these teenagers are going to parties all the time, these thirteen year old kids are going out, and I’m left wondering, “Is any of this even real?” Are there people that do go to parties on a nightly basis, and I am just not aware of this? The more people I talk to the more confused I become because no one says that their teenage years are (or were) like that. Why do the television companies like to distort our own image? They are not influencing us in a positive way, and I don’t think it makes the show any more exciting. It would be much more interesting to see these characters overcome personal struggles and hardships, rather than watching them go to school with a hangover.

On to a completely different subject, my mom took my computer to the doctor. If I haven’t already told you, a few months ago I pretty much killed my computer because I accidentally downloaded this virus that send itself to people through MSN Messenger. It was bad news, and my computer never really got over it’s sickness. Anyway, I’ve been really busy lately, and haven’t had any time to just relax and mess around on the internet or play “The Sims” my best friend (/s if you count my individual simians). Now that Mr. Computer is visiting the doctor for a three day check-up, I have all this free time. It’s a total bummer.

This is not quite as serious (haha why so serious?) as the beginning of my blog. Mostly I just wanted to mention some of the random stuff I was doing, or thinking about. I just finished reading “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.” The title of my blog this time around are the words Ed Kelly said right before killing Robert Ford. I just thought that was worth mentioning. It really is a good book, you don’t know whether you should love, hate, or sympathize with Bob Ford. Personally, I feel bad for him. He sort of reminds me of Batman. He does the world a favor, ending this criminal’s life, but everyone still hates him. Speaking of Batman, the LEGO batman video game is coming out shortly, and I’m very excited. The previous LEGO video games, (Indiana Jones, Star Wars one and two) are so much fun.

I guess I’m ending this one on a positive note.

HAHA XOXO
